The Marines announced that Tadahiro Ogino had ganglion cyst removal surgery on his right shoulder. He will require about three months for a full recovery.

Doctors found a cyst in Ogino's shoulder that was about ten millimeters in diameter during an examination in late-April. He was allowed to continue his training, but after his condition failed to improve during a one month period -- he was losing muscle because the cyst was pressing up against some nerves -- surgery became the next logical step.

The city of Chiba is accepting donations to help maintain Chiba Marine Stadium (and for other things like parades and public viewing events). Fans that donate 5,000 yen or more will get a special commemorative item; fans that donate 10,000 yen or more will get a piece of the turf and a name plate that will be put on display at the stadium.
